I think only flats has the rubber sole, like the hot chickita. It’s fine so far. But the lastest heals I got don’t have it. And the information is disclosed when purchasing in Louboutin store. It was at least the case for me.
Guess they are trying and wait for feedbacks. Honestly, I prefer the original sole because, yeah you need to replace it quickly but then you are good to go and can replace it anytime. Not sure it is possible with the rubber sole
 
I can’t comment on outside of Europe, but I have 2 pairs of CLs, heels and boots, the latter was purchased just before Christmas. They both came with the hand painted red sole and I got both pairs resoled with the CL-embossed rubber sole. I brought my shoes to the Dublin store and they sent them to the Paris atelier.
My SA didn’t mention anything about new pairs with the rubber sole, but I’d rather buy the hand painted ones and get them resoled when they start to wear off…
 
I bought several pairs in April and May and all had soles as usual. These Louboutins are high heels, shoes and sandals, mules and a pair of booties.

But I find louboutin soles very slippery so often change them at my cobbler for non slippery soles as soon as I get them. They’re also red, and match so perfectly that I can’t see the difference.
 
I bought three pairs of CL shoes (Miss Jane sandals, Mamadrague ballerina flats and Me Dolly sandals) in October 2024 and November 2024 at Neiman Marcus. They all had the regular red soles.
